COMBINATION DEVIGE.

Application filed March 18; 1921.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY MOLENDA, a citizen of Poland, residing at Ollie, in the county of Fallon and State of Montana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination Devices, of which the following is a speciiication.

The main object of this invention is the provision of a combination device useful as a chair by day and a bed or cot by night, having practical and easily manipulable means for converting the same from one to the other.

The above and other objects will become apparent in the description below, in which like-named parts are referred to by likenamed characters of reference.

Referring briefly to the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the device.

Fig. 2 is a rear elevational view of the same.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the same used as a bed.

Fig. 4 is a plan view of the same used as a bed.

Fig. 5 is a side elevational view of the same used as a bed.

Referring now in detail to the drawings, the numeral 1 represents the frame of a chair, having on each side, secured to the interior, a bracket 2. Links 4 are pivotally attached at 3 to these brackets, and supports are pivotally secured to said links. Extending ears 5 are secured to the brackets 2, and to one end of each of the ears a frame 6 is pivotally secured. The supports 7 are also pivotally attached to the frame 6 as shown. A rod 8 is secured at each end to the free end of a link 4, and one end of said rod passes through one of a number of holes 10 in the side oi' the chair. A removable cap 9 is attached to the latter end of the rod 8 to prevent slipping of the same. rllhe iframe 6 is provided with a ledge 11 adapted to support bedding.

A short link l2 is pivoted to the other end Specification of Letters Patent.

of the ear 5 connecting a second frame 13, the latter having side members 14 hingedly attached and adapted to be folded inward as shown. Locking means consisting of eyelets 15 on the edges of the members 14 are bridged by lock members 16 and may be used to retain the members 14 in upright position.

As shown in Fig. 3, the device is in eX- tended position so that the same may be used as a bed after suitable bedding has been provided. 1n this ligure, however, one of the side members 14 is shown in collapsed position simply to illustrate the manipulation of the same. ln collapsing the device, the lock members 16-15 are irst opened, and the two opposite side members are folded inward, and then the middle side member is folded above the iirst two. Finally the whole frame 13 is swung'about its pivots at the ends of the ears 12, into the position shown in broken lines in Fig. 1, the respective paths of the various parts being obvious 'from the illustration. Obviously, the reverse sequence is gone through in extending the device.

By varying the position of the rod 8 as provided by the holes 10, the degree of inclination of the frame 6 may be varied at will to accommodate the user.

1 claim:

A device of the class described comprising a support, brackets attached to said support, substantially horizontal ears attached to said brackets, a lll-shaped trame pivotally attached to said ears at one end of said ears, links pivotally attached to said brackets, a rod rigidly secured to the free ends of said links, supports pivotally attached at one end to said links and at the other end to said irame, a second lll-shaped frame pivotally attached to said ears at their opposite ends,

and side members pivotally mounted upon said second frame.

1n witness whereof 1 aiiix my signature.

HENRY MOLENDA.
